Black: a Sirius Tale

All his life, Sirius Black had heard about the wonders and challenges of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. His mother and father told him about the secret rooms and the traditions and all the rites of passage he would soon experience. Sirius and his younger brother, Regulus, listened with rapt attention and eagerness at all the tales of running the corridors at night, playing pranks on hapless Hufflepuffs and Gryffindors, playing Quidditch for the glory of Slytherin House.

And now, the time had come for the young wizard to take his family's place as the new generation of the venerable House of Black.

This is the story of Sirius Black, from his childhood as the son of the Dark Lord's most loyal followers, to the rebellious young man who risked everything he had to make the right choices in life. Why did he rebel, and what role did James Potter play in that transformation?
